Am I the only one feeling very sad about the "Favour" system being an april fool?

I've always felt that Final Fantasy XIV really needs some romance elements of sort like the Final Fantasy games of old.

While the system described was obviously a bit over the top, I wish they really adopted some kind of concept like that, and I feel very sad that it turned out to be a joke.
